josh.spry — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:53:50 +0000

Date: THIS THURSDAY – 18 MARCH 2010.
Time: 7-10pm then out on the town for whoever is keen!
Place: Hans Northbridge (and then wherever the night may lead…a certain club may be beckoning).
Cost: $25 for Blackstone Members, $30 for Non-Members.

As a welcome back to uni present for all second years (those studying Property I and/or Equity this semester), the Blackstone Society is putting on the Second Year Dinner extravaganza, which is ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT with refreshments included! This is an excellent law school bonding opportunity, with the chance to re-connect with friends after the holidays and to get to know some of the amazing Second Years that you might not have spent much time with yet!

It’s going to be a fantastic night full of tasty Asian cuisine, wine and champagne, and plenty of fun and laughter (probably at the expense of the Second Year Reps!). Watch out for speeches, awards, and an amazing guest speaker! So come on down and have a great night spending time with old friends and meeting plenty of new ones!

** UPDATE: In exciting news, everyone’s favourite Equity lecturer Natalie Skead has agreed to be our guest speaker for the evening! She will be sharing some stories about her time in law school, which promises to be a source of much amusement!

(YOU ARE A SECOND YEAR STUDENT IF YOU ARE ENROLLED IN EITHER PROPERTY I OR EQUITY THIS SEMESTER)
